Unfortunately, my family didn’t have a great experience with Shannon and her team. My mother was charged $4k as a deposit fee to complete her trust documents and was told she had to pay an additional $3k within 4 weeks. We asked for additional time because that was a lot of money to come up with at once. Well, they decided to drop her as a client and refuse to refund any of her money despite of them only completing a generic document for her with no details about her assets, family, etc. They made my elderly mother feel like all they cared about was money and displayed no compassion or empathy for her.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Estate Planning and Asset Protection Support I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Shannon Pauley and her entire team. Their attention to detail, expertise, and strategic guidance were invaluable to my mom and me during a difficult battle involving a nursing home’s Medicaid application procedures. From start to finish, Shannon and her team made sure I understood the process, particularly the proper use of a Qualified Income Trust (QIT). They ensured I had access to my mom’s Gateway account and helped me understand the importance of having accurate information communicated throughout the Medicaid process. Simply having the support and presence of Shannon’s law firm made a tremendous difference and helped ensure that my mom and I were treated fairly by the facility. Because of the firm’s expertise and strategy, we were able to resolve the situation without having to go to a hearing. Shannon and her team are truly information gurus! Their strategy was top-notch, and they provided me with the knowledge, guidance, and confidence I needed to take the right steps to care for and protect my mom. I highly recommend Attorney Shannon Pauley and her entire team to anyone seeking knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate assistance with estate planning, asset protection, Medicaid planning, or Qualified Income Trusts. You want this team in your corner! Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It has been such a pleasure to work with Shannon and her assistant, Sabrina, (and the entire office staff) the past several years, since my elderly father moved into our home and my mother into a memory care facility in the Atlanta area. With my mother's passing in 2014 and just recently my father's passing in 2026, I can't imagine getting through all the legal details required by the state of Georgia without them. Their expertise in elder law and estate planning for the state of Georgia and their genuine care and concern for our family meant so much to us. They also were dedicated and tireless in their efforts to work through all the VA requirements for my father, (in his 90's and a WWII Veteran) to help him receive his VA benefits. They also are most fair and compatible with their pricing scale in keeping with similar Atlanta firms of such high quality. My brother and I were very pleased with their yearly Maintenance Fee Plan that is offered to their clients, with quarterly phone calls to check on our father and to discuss any questions we had. We always felt connected and they understood my father's needs through his 90s until his passing at 99. A five star law firm for sure and our family has been Blessed with their presence in our lives.

Shannon provided invaluable information regarding a family estate matter. Although her firm did not quite fit our immediate needs, the consultation was informative and extremely HELPFUL! Shannon clearly explained what our next steps should be and offered to assist if we had any questions along the way. Her expertise and willingness to help puts her in a league of her own!

My husband has dementia. This firm has been patient, kind and professional while we went through a move from a house of 37 years in to a condo to be closer to my daughter and her husband. (Miami to Atlanta). There was also a wedding. All in 6 months. We now have a trust, power of attorney. Wills for my daughter and her husband and more. All at a fair price. I could not recommend higher.

Shannon Pawley and her team are exceptional at helping families navigate tough situations. We began working with her upon finding out my father had Stage 4 kidney cancer. His decline was more rapid than expected. Attorney Pawley and her entire team expedited paperwork that allowed me to focus on my father’s care, make decisions that suddenly needed to be made for him medically and financially, and has allowed me the ability to focus more on grieving and less on legal matters upon his passing. It is obvious she is knowledgeable about the best ways to navigate estates to protect the assets for the owners and their loved ones. It is just as obvious that she is passionate and has true heart for what her clients go through. We will be using her for own estate needs, and I recommend her expertise to everybody I can. This service is worth every penny we paid as it has saved us more money and time than I could imagine.

Attorney Shannon Pawley and paralegal Alexis McCoy are legal professionals that my wife and I highly recommend. Their grasp of the Georgia law pertaining to Medicaid assistance and the interworking's of the State department is exceptional. Additionally, their client-attorney relationship skills are excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to use this law firm again should the need arise.
